Chada Thaised: Ferocious opponent of Pita’s PM bid has a dark and violence-racked history

[webfact]

 

Bhumjaithai MP Chada Thaised stole the limelight from Thailand’s top PM candidate Pita Limjaroenrat during the joint parliamentary meeting to elect a new prime minister on Thursday.

 

Chada’s fiery speech – which fiercely defended the monarchy and attacked Pita’s policy to amend the lese majeste law – made headlines and caught the attention of Thai politics watchers.

 

Father, mother, brother murdered

 

Born in 1961 to a Muslim family, Chada grew up in Uthai Thani. His grandfather migrated from Pakistan before settling in the northern province. His granddad was a major beef trader in the province, but Chada’s father launched into the lumber trade before switching back to selling and even exporting beef.

Seems a perfectly suitable person for political high office.

Looks like the bad guy in a movie

I was in Uthaithani in 1975 as a Peace Corps volunteer. I had friends who were policemen. Chada's older brother, Chaiyos, also known as "Phet Boon", was involved in drug smuggling and other illegal activities, as well as being an overall bad person (an "andaphan" ie, an infamous criminal). He was killed after I went to Uthai. I never met Phet Boon, or Chada or his sister, or even knew that they were all from Pakistan.

Wonder if he has any German connections ?

Wow!

 

And that's the stuff Thai PBS World felt was acceptable to print.

 

Sounds like a minor provincial mafia family butting heads with other "families" for control of lucrative businesses. The meat business is probably a front.

Puts himself in the spotlight and so it doesn't take long for someone to do some digging and low and behold, the closet door is now ajar...

[mfd101]

Clearly suitable for high office in Thailand.

[newnative]

Seems like a prime candidate for the EC to deeply probe.  Just reading the article, it's my 'belief' that he's not suitable for public office.  "Belief', apparently, goes a long way with the EC.

'Chada was arrested on suspicion of masterminding the 2003 murder of Somkiat Chanhirun, secretary to Thai Rak Thai MP Prasang Mongkhonsiri. He denied any wrongdoing and was eventually acquitted in court in 2005.,

 

Says a lot!

[bendejo]

Is he giving the finger to the camera?

 

[greg71]

There is an online vid with Jomquan interviewing him recently where he is acting like he is off his face on yaba or ice  . Very strange individual .

In 2017, Chada and his entourage were targeted in a police crackdown on organized crime in Uthai Thani. A police search of their vehicles turned up six guns and one pill of MDMA or ecstasy. Chada walked free after police failed to prove the items belonged to him.

 

Heavily armed, half of family members murdered, one murder charge, drugs involved. Could also be a scene in a mafia movie. It's amazing what figures are hanging around in Thai Parliament currently.
